Letters Patent No. 85,969, dated Jfmuwry 19, 1869.

IMPROVEMENT IN SHUTTLE FOR LOOM.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making park of the same.

To all whom it may conoern.

Be it known that I, AUGUSTUS Smrrsos, of Gumberland, in the county of Providence, and in the State of Rhode Island, have invented an Improved Shuttle for Looms; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which make part of this specification, and in which,-

Figure 1 represents a view in perspective of my improved shnttle, and

' Figure 2, a transverse section of the same.

The objectof my invention is to provide a simple, strong, and durable shuttle, which shall be economical in its construction, and afford ready means for the attachment and removal of the cop, when necessary; to which ends,

My improvements consist in constructing the shuttle of a skeleton-frame, of metallic rods or wires, united at their ends by pointed metallic caps, and provided with a spindle for the reception of the cop, and an eyepiece, through which the yarn is led off.

In the accompanying drawings, which sho a convenient arrangement of parts for carrying out the objects of my invention- A A A A represent wires, or rods of iron or other metal, arranged in square or rectangular form, and bent inward at their ends, which are united by brazing, welding, screwing, or other suitable manner, to pointed metallic caps C G, by which they are united.

The cap G is' provided with a spindle, B, upon which the cop is wound. The spindle may be either attached permanently to the cap, as access to it can be readily had between the wires, or may be hinged and provided with a spring, so as to be thrown out between them, when desired, either method being equally applicable.

An eye-piece, E, is attached, by brazing or otherwise, to the cap C, being formed of a wire, bent, at one of its ends, into spiral form, so as to present one or more eyes, through which the thread or yarn from the cop is led oi.

If found more convenient, a rod, F, may be used, having an eye at or near its centre, and bra-Zed to two of the wires A A in a transverse direction.

,From the construction of my improved shuttle, it will be seen that it is light, strong, and4 much more durable than those in ordinary use. When in operation, it may rest upon any side of the rectangle formed ranged in polygonal form, and united at their ends to pointed metallic caps, substantially as described.

2. In combination with the wires A A and caps C O', the spindle B, either ixed or hinged, and eye-piece E,-substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

The above speoiiication signed by me, this 1st day of September, 1868.

AUGUSTUS SIMPSON.
